The PC5 contains several separate switching regulators. Four provide the power for the
preamplifier and detector: two low voltages for the preamplifier, the HV bias for the detector, and the
power for the thermoelectric cooler. There are several important details for this circuit.
The PC5 supply voltage must be between +4.5 and +6.0 VDC. Power can be supplied via J1, or J4, or
from the DP5 via J3. If the DP5 is installed it can be powered via the PC5 J1 or J4.
The power dissipated will depend on many variables. The PC5, preamplifier, and detector typically
draw a maximum of 1.5 W (300 mA at 5 V). The PC5 and DP5 together typically draw 3.5 W (700 mA
at 5 V).
Nominal switching frequencies are >1 MHz, except for the HV bias which switches at 50 kHz.
The enable pin can be controlled from the DP5 or J4. The enable pin is pulled up to 3.3 V with 10
Kohm. In the absence of a DP5, this pullup will turn on the PC5 supplies, unless the enable pin is
pulled down externally.
The PC5 control logic is generally under control of the DP5 via I
determines the set point, and monitors the values which are reported back to the DP5. If no DP5 is
used then potentiometers and resistors are installed to provide fixed control.

HV Bias Supply Discussion
A simplified schematic for the HV supply is shown in the schematic below for positive polarity. The
output is divided by a factor of 500 into the error amplifier circuit. TP12 measures the HV set point
while TP13 measures the actual HV bias. Both measure 2 mV/V, so for a 240 V bias these test points
should be 0.48 V. For use with a DP5, VR1 is not installed and the DAC controls the value. For use
without a DP5, VR1 is installed (along with other components) and the DAC is disconnected.

Negative polarity is similar but the divider output is inverted. Both HVMON and HVSET are still
positive. Changing polarity requires removal and installation of several zero ohm resistors and is
done at the factory.
The bias polarity and magnitude are selected based on the detector in use. These are very important,
since the wrong polarity or excess magnitude can cause irreparable damage to a detector. This type
of damage is not covered under warranty.
The output RC filter has a series resistance of 2.5 M. This provides current limiting (0.6 mA
maximum). Because the control feedback is taken after the filter, the voltage drop across the 2.5M
